As a Steubenville fan, I get sick of hearing people knock on Massillon. Big Red won state championships prior to 1972, and those years are painted on the side of our stadium along with the playoff wins. Massillon won their state championships the only way they could in the years prior to 1972. We Big Red people have great respect for Massillon's wins.
The big difference is that Steubenville has won multiple State Championships on the field.........
You don't have to go back 5 decades to discuss your success
Success? Massillon has not won a championship during the tournament format, that is common knowledge, but despite being one of the smallest division I schools in the state, Massillon has had success. There are only three schools in the history of Division I football in Ohio, that have made it to the State Semi-Finals in every decade, Massillon, Canton Mckinley and Upper Arlington. Now you can say whatever you want, but that is long term success. Again, despite being one of the smallest D I schools in the state, Massillon has not dodged anyone, EVER. When Moeller was a power, Massillon put them on their schedule, when St. Joe became a contender, Massillon put them on their schedule, St. Ignatius....No, Massillon has not had alot of success against them, but, they have been on Massillons schedule for ten years now. Do I wish Massillon had a couple of championships during the playoff era? Of course I do, does their lack of championships during that time span mean they have had zero success? Of course not. I would consider the 2005 season one of the most successful of any team ever, Massillon makes it to the state championship game only to lose by seven points to a team that had twice as many boys as us, not to mention the "parochial advantage". So, if you're saying they have had no success to get under my skin, then that's one thing, if you actually believe it, I believe you have a problem.
